Euronav NV Sold
On June 12, 2020 large shipping concern Euronav NV (EURN) was sold at $9.90. I sold EURN to avoid paying the 30% Belgium withholding tax on the June dividend since the SMA Portfolio is an IRA. As of June 22nd I haven’t decided where to reinvest the proceeds.
Due to being on vacation I haven’t updated the portfolio in a couple of weeks.
